Rapid Fire with the SKS

[Ganderite]

IN CQB we have to shoot against the clock and each event has lots of reloads. Nothing is faster than a AR-15 for reloads. But the SKS with stripper clips is fast enough.

I made a modification to my rifle. I found the stripper clip guide was a bit tight and would bind a bit on the clips. So I took a file and opened up the clip guide on the rifle a few licks. Now it is easy to get a clip in and out.

Looks fun, if only you had a grenade to finish em off. lol, but honestly looks fun.

We finish em off with the folding bayonet...

Guys, if you have a rifle and pistol, you should be joining us at Camp Borden to shoot CQB. It is the most fun you can have in the standing position...... Well, almost the most fun....

I'm on tasking in Borden for most of the summer starting next week, do you have any resources for this? This looks like a better way to spend my weekends.

Don't ask about an SKS and CQB.. you will get jumped on like a virgin female in a male prison.

Fun to watch Ganderite! Come to think of it, I do have an SKS that takes AK mags, but the AK mags aren't particularly fast.

The quickest way to load the SKS is to use your off-hand to feed the clips. Push the rounds down with your left thumb and with a flick of the wrist you can toss out the empty clip with your thumb and index finger. Then use your palm to smack back the bolt handle closing the action.

My right hand dexterity is much better, and there are some fine motor skills involved.

If it is reliable, it might be faster. But, at $400, it defeats the purpose of my minimalist approach to CQB.

If you want to make it even faster...

1. While pushing down with left thumb use left index against tip of top bullet to slightly tilt upward.

2. after clip is empty grab clip with left palm/fingers. All in one motion pull back on clip (bolt) while pulling clip up (out). Removes clip and runs bolt in same motion.

3. practice this technique in the various shooting positions.

Once you get it down its pretty fast.

Is it April as in next year?
I've worked at CFB Borden many times, I knew some local guys had access, I've asked buddies still in about it but no go. Are you guys a club or just a part of base association?
I would like to part take

Sorry! Next match is in a week. May 23

It is run by the ORA. Nothing to do with the base. Contact Eric and get the scoop.

Interesting. I'm going to have to try that.
